E-Ink is "electronic ink technology" and is used for electrophoretic electronic paper. It is a technology used on screens. E-Ink electronic paper consists of electronic ink and two substrates, which are coated on There is an electronic ink composed of countless tiny transparent particles, and the diameter of the particles is only half the size of a human hair. As long as the color of the micro-particles and the dye inside the particles are adjusted, the electronic ink can display different colors and patterns. When electronic ink is applied to paper, cloth or a flat object, as long as it is properly shocked, hundreds of millions of particles can change colors, thereby continuously changing the displayed patterns and text according to people's settings. It has the characteristics of low power consumption and fast refresh speed.
Electronic ink has many advantages, including legibility, flexibility, easy and cheap manufacturing, and low power consumption. E-ink has better reflectivity and contrast than other display technologies. They look like ink on paper and are media that people feel comfortable reading and processing. In bright light, including direct sunlight, other display materials feel a little light and difficult to read. In contrast, displays based on electronic ink are truly easy to see and read.
In the 1970s, Japan first developed electrophoretic display technology. However, the experiments of the ordinary electrophoresis initially developed had many shortcomings such as short display life, instability, and difficulty in colorization, and the experiment was temporarily suspended. In the mid-to-late 1990s, the MIT Media Laboratory also began research on E-Ink technology. By the end of the 20th century, the American E-Ink Company (which was established in 1997 by Lucent, Motorola and several venture capital companies to develop electronic paper) used electrophoresis technology to invent electrophoretic ink (also known as electronic ink). The earth facilitates the development of this technology.Electronic ink technology uses extremely tiny "capsules" to encapsulate negatively charged black particles and positively charged white particles into the "capsules" to form so-called "electronic ink droplets". Advantages of e-ink include legibility, flexibility, cheap manufacturing and low power consumption. With the maturity of electronic ink technology, E-Ink Company launched a fully flexible material product in 2008, which has greatly improved in terms of portability and fall resistance. Electronic paper technology is called the greatest invention after the birth of printing in the 15th century. Some even predict that in the next ten years, electronic paper combined with memory chips will be able to house entire libraries. Electronic paper media will also make most printed newspapers and periodicals become history. Compared with traditional paper, electronic paper can be used repeatedly, so it is known as "a piece of paper that can never be finished". The application and promotion of E-Ink and electronic paper will set off a new round of revolution in paper media carriers, information technology and digital publishing. As these technologies become increasingly mature, many well-known IT manufacturers in the world are rushing to put these two technologies into production. The electronic reading products developed based on these two high-tech technologies have been popular among readers as soon as they came out. our warm welcome.
Electronic ink is a new method and technology that revolutionizes the display of information. Like most traditional inks, e-ink and the circuitry that changes its color can be printed onto many surfaces, from curved plastic, Mylar, paper to cloth. The difference from traditional paper is that electronic ink changes color when powered and can display changing images, like the display on a calculator or mobile phone. To the naked eye, e-ink looks like a bottle of ordinary ink, but there are millions of tiny particles suspended in the e-ink liquid.Microcapsules. Inside each capsule is a mixture of dye and pigment chips, tiny chips that can be charged. To see the microcapsules of e-ink, think of them as clear plastic water balloons. The water polo contains dozens of ping pong balls and is filled with pigment water instead of air. If we look at a water polo from the top, we can see many white ping pong balls suspended in the liquid, making the water polo look white. When you look at a water balloon from the bottom, all you see is pigmented water, so the water balloon looks black. If you put thousands of water balloons into a container and move the ping pong balls between the top and bottom of the water balloons, you can see the container change color. This is basically how e-ink works. In fact, these water balloons are microcapsules 100 microns across. One square inch contains approximately 100,000 microcapsules. If printed with electronic ink on a page of paper, one sentence contains more than 300,000 microcapsules. Electronic ink is a new material created by integrating chemistry, physics and electronics. The production of microcapsules itself only involves relatively simple chemistry and can be compared to making a salad! After the microcapsules are made, they are called a colloidal material. This material is a small solid particle that assumes the physical properties of a liquid. The microcapsules are then suspended in a liquid "carrier" like traditional ink, but will stick to any surface that regular ink can be used on. And can be printed with existing screen printing processes. The microelectronics of printing change the color of ink particles and produce words and images.
